Transforming Healthcare Affordability

The episode discusses how two companies, Apri and Transparent, are addressing the affordability crisis in the U.S. healthcare system, primarily affecting self-insured employers. Don Trigg from Apri emphasizes that traditional healthcare costs are rising well above inflation, leading to dissatisfaction among employees regarding their healthcare experiences. The goal is to provide employers with better tools to achieve more value from their healthcare purchasing, fundamentally shifting the current supply-demand dynamics in favor of the employers. This transformation is essential as it allows for more effective healthcare cost management and improved employee satisfaction in accessing care.
